How can QF be number 4 when it is older than number 3 and neither have had fatal crashes and number 1 and 2 both have had major crashes.

Another load of Nonews rubbish.

Without knowing the basis of their calculations who knows. Reading the text though, things such as number of flights (#1 has a lot more flights than QF), as well as accidents with no fatalities also counted. The order is going to depend on the weights given to the various factors.

I wondered that too. According to the first slide it is based from 1975 onwards. I hadn't looked into the stats on BA, although i am sure they had a crash after that date. Also the list was compiled by some other website. (It's on the first slide as well)

Regardless of factors, QF is one of (or the) oldest airlines in the world and I am sure if we looked at km's flown instead of flights it would beat many of the others as well. Now QF have never lost a life so how can it be number 4 behind airlines that have killed people?

Biased rubbish, give me QF anyday, even when they have problems they get the bird down safely.

QF have had plenty of non-jet crashes....
 
In the Qantas blurb, the article states:
"and flies to 182 destinations in 44 different countries."

That is basically a lie and also ridiculous.
Qantas flies to 39 destinations in 15 countries.
 
I think you'll find that the Qantas statistics re deaths only applies to peacetime flying, as I believe they lost a number of passengers, whilst flying commercial operations either in New Guinea, or to/from New Guinea, during the 2nd World War.

Also as to crashs, one or more aircraft have been totally written off, after accidents.
One that comes to mind was I believe a Lockheed Super Constallation, in Mauritius.

Anther is the B747 BKK accident, where the aircraft suffered such enormous structural damage, that the insurance company wanted to simply pay the amount, and write the aircraft off.
However the "powers that be" at Qantas then, did not want to responsible for such a
Public Relations disaster and paid a "fortune" to have the aircraft virtually rebuilt in Hong Kong.

P.S.
